It is easier than Little Snitch
Radio Silence lets you block individual apps from accessing the internet. It never throws pop-ups on the screen, and is completely invisible.
Lockdown Privacy is an Open Source and free firewall for your iOS device. We built the product to help protect users from app developers and analytics companies that are monetizing user data without consent or transparency.
Block internet connection for apps.
TripMode vs Little Snitch opinions
I like TripMode as an alternative to LittleSnitch because it's simpler UI resembles iOS and it's easy to monitor and block app internet usage. It's also significantly cheaper than LittleSnitch.
